‘As good as it gets’ – 49ers’ ascending position group faces its toughest test
One of the most exciting developments of the 49ers’ 4-0 start to the 2026 season has been the play of the offensive line. A much, and often unfairly, maligned position group for the Niners, Chris Foerster’s group have excelled through the opening four weeks. They have not allowed a sack through the first four games, […]
Kyle Shanahan shares interesting perspective on 49ers unique drafting strategy for their OL
When it comes to the NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers are often a team in many conversations during the offseason, with this year being no different after they took wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling at No. 33 and running back Kaelon Black at No. 90 overall. San Francisco has seen its wide range of successes […]
49ers history: NN throwback content about every single season in Niners history through 2009
We all are focused on the future and whether the San Francisco 49ers can win the Super Bowl this year, but there’s still plenty of interesting history in the 49ers past worth revisiting. Way back in 2008, 2009, and 2010, we ran a series of articles looking at every single season in 49ers history. The […]
49ers News: TIL the practice squad has an injured reserve
There’s football on tonight… the 0-4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs the 2-2 Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys are obviously a 49ers opponent and the Bucs might have players on the trade block, given how bad their season is going. I’ll watch Vita Vea mess up the Cowboys offense and daydream about him coming home…… 49ers trade […]
49ers injury updates: Upton Stout won’t practice today
The following players will not practice for the San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday: DT James Thompson Jr. (ankle)EDGE Nick Bosa (calf)FB Kyle Juszczyk (knee)S Marques Sigle (ankle)CB Upton Stout (shoulder) Stout would be a big loss. He’s rushed the passer the 11th-most among all cornerbacks in the league. Stout’s a big part of Raheem Morris’s […]
49ers sign former Rams wide receiver to the practice squad
The San Francisco 49ers continue to shuffle the deck at wide receiver. Xavier Smith, who played against the 49ers in Week 1 when he was with the Rams, was added to the practice squad. Smith served as the Rams’ punt and kickoff returner for the first three weeks of the season. The corresponding move was […]
How similar are the 49ers and Seahawks through 4 weeks?
The San Francisco 49ers head to Seattle for the biggest matchup of the season as the two best teams in the NFC are set to do battle. The 49ers are 4-0 following a gritty win over the Denver Broncos, and the Seahawks are 3-1 after dismantling the Chargers. The two teams are far more similar […]
49ers-Seahawks: 3 major differences from last year’s roster
The San Francisco 49ers faced the Seattle Seahawks three times in 2025. Kyle Shanahan’s offense had 30 drives against Mike MacDonald’s defense. They scored two touchdowns. In the first matchup, Ricky Pearsall had over 100 receiving yards, while Zach Charbonnet led Seattle in rushing. Neither player will be in uniform this Sunday. In the second […]

The San Francisco 49ers are just about a quarter of the way into the season, and they’re undefeated so far, starting off 4-0 with wins over the Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals, and Denver Broncos. Through four games, the 49ers have been exceptional offensively, ranking first by a wide margin in EPA/play, while […]
Brock Purdy atop MVP leaderboard through four weeks
It’s been only four weeks, but San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been playing the best football of his career so far here in 2026. Through four games, Purdy has thrown for 1,007 yards, 11 touchdowns, and only one interception, while completing nearly 70 percent of his passes and averaging 8.9 yards per attempt. […]
49ers News: John Lynch better be working those phones
Let’s keep firing up these trade rumors. I’m getting greedy. This is exactly what I wanted to see before the season: Brock Purdy and the offense showing so much juice that it pretty much forces John Lynch’s hand, in the most positive way possible. You GOTTA give these guys a legit pass rush that can […]
Who has been the unsung hero this season for the 49ers?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in 49ers fans and fans across the country. Who has been the unsung hero? The 49ers have become all too familiar with unsung heroes under Kyle Shanahan. Injuries have led to depth players being […]
49ers bring back local product to the practice squad
The San Francisco 49ers brought back Viliami Fehoko Jr. to the practice squad. The pass rusher was promoted to the team’s active roster on September 26, appearing in one game before being waived on October 3. To his credit, Fehoko played well in limited action against the Cardinals. Obviously, he did enough to warrant returning […]
Kyle Shanahan ‘real excited’ with Malik Mustapha ahead of Week 5 start
The 49ers will be forced to make a change to their starting secondary for their huge Week 5 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. After Marques Sigle suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday’s 24-14 win over the Denver Broncos, the 49ers will have a different starting safety duo in Seattle, though thankfully the replacement is a […]
49ers LB Dre Greenlaw fined for taunting and cussing at the Broncos sideline
Dre Greenlaw’s emotions were running high in the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 4 win over the Denver Broncos. If Greenlaw had a chance to let Denver’s sideline know, he took it. Whether he was pointing, gesturing, or smack-talking, Greenlaw went out of his way to make it a point to Broncos head coach Sean Payton […]
Kyle Shanahan, Brock Purdy explain those bizarre fourth-and-1 calls against the Broncos
We’ve always had a few plays after a 2026 San Francisco 49ers game where we asked: “What the hell was that?” In their 24-14 victory over the Denver Broncos, a couple errr, “apparent” moments were on fourth down. The first fourth down was in the first half on fourth-and-1. A very long “1,” mind you. […]
Week 5 NFL Power Rankings: Where do the 49ers rank among undefeated teams?
The San Francisco 49ers are only one of three NFL teams that have started the season 4-0 in 2026, joining the Kansas City Chiefs and the Minnesota Vikings. Thus far, their +58 point differential leads the NFL, and they also have two big wins on their resume: the Los Angeles Rams and the Denver Broncos. […]
5 final observations from the 49ers win over the Broncos
The San Francisco 49ers used a fourth-quarter touchdown from George Kittle to beat the Denver Broncos 24-14 on Sunday night, getting past another marquee opponent as they climbed to 4-0. This game was a different type of win for the 49ers, as the offense didn’t hum at its usual level, while the defense mitigated the […]
Why 1 unit has surprised in big way through 4 weeks
The San Francisco 49ers have been on a roll to start the season, going 4-0 with wins over the Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals, and Denver Broncos. After an elite offense carried the way through the first three weeks, it was San Francisco’s defense that looked great on Sunday, holding Denver’s offense to […]
49ers News: We’re on to Seattle
I was watching some of the Seattle-Washington game today, trying to get a sense of how the Commanders managed to beat the defending champs. One factor was Sonny Styles. He dominated from the linebacker position, making game-changing plays in pass coverage. You could tell he played high-level basketball, this wasn’t just “good coverage for a […]
Monday Night Football live discussion: Falcons at Saints
The San Francisco 49ers take on the Atlanta Falcons in a couple of weeks. Michael Penix and the Dirty Birds face Tyler Shough and the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football to close out Week 4. Atlanta looked like a completely different team with Michael Penix under center. Bijan Robinson is electric; that hasn’t […]
49ers injury updates: Marques Sigle has the dreaded high ankle sprain
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided injury updates on Monday afternoon. He confirmed Kyle Juszczyk has a hyperextended knee. Juice is expected to miss 2-3 weeks. Shanahan said Luke Farrell and Brayden Willis will take over Juszczyk’s role. “They’re all pretty interchangeable, but it’ll definitely get Brayden some more ops.” Safety Marques Sigle […]
49ers grades: Raheem Morris colt-pletely shuts down Bo Nix and the Broncos
The San Francisco 49ers beat the Denver Broncos by double digits at home. After a slow start, the offense finished the game with three consecutive touchdown drives. But the defense kept the Broncos in their stall all game. They responded well after a shaky fourth quarter in Week 3. Here are my positional grades for […]
Dre Greenlaw and Deebo Samuel used same motivation to help 49ers past Broncos
The 49ers knew what to expect from their Week 4 matchup with the Denver Broncos, and it played out exactly as they anticipated. San Francisco’s 24-14 win over Denver was a rock fight. An ultra-physical battle of wills in which the 49er offense had to be very patient in grinding down the Broncos’ vaunted defense, […]
49ers’ Kyle Juszczyk is expected to miss 2-3 weeks with a bone bruise
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the San Francisco 49ers will be without Kyle Juszczyk for a ‘couple of weeks’ due to a hyperextended knee. Those were the initial tests. Juszczyk will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm whether those initial tests were accurate. Juszczyk has played a pivotal role for the 49ers this season. […]
